Maybe its now time to close this thread and consign it to the history books
Another option may be to allow the thread to quietly retire itself to history, when there is no more value added discussion on the topic. I'm okay to leave it open for a bit, as long as the discussion stays on track, and is respectful. Hopefully, people will express their viewpoint, and move on when they're ready. I'm happier to not have to close a thread, it's okay to just let it go quiet too!
